Link stood on the top of the boat and looked up at the night sky.

This was an open world, with nobles and even commoners enjoying shocking degrees of freedom.

This was another extremely sealed world. It was so difficult for a cultivator to walk on a path that it left them in despair.

Not to mention the commoner class, even the aristocratic families, each family had a few "secret scriptures" that were hidden like treasures. Even after raiding the Fei Li family's old nest, they still got a pitiful amount of cultivation books and information. It was likely that some of the most important combat and magical techniques would have to be passed down through generations through the mouth of the Master and disciple duo.

The commoners were in an even more miserable state. It was a luxury to obtain the basic skills of a bear strength realm, as well as books on cultivation methods. In order to rise to prominence by relying on one's own strength, one could only become a servant of a noble family.

To be able to defend one's own door and pass on one's skills in such a manner, it was truly a lamentable matter.

From time immemorial, who knew how many secret techniques were lost and how many absolute arts were cut off?

This isn't just a matter of the aristocrats and the commoner community. Even for places like the War God Academy that nurture the future and hope for the empire, the "library tower" that all the Wargod Empire cultivators view as a holy land, there is basically no one that has the right to borrow it as they please. If you want to read it, you can exchange a large amount of military achievements or school results during your time in school for something like that!

Rumor has it that even the descendants of the royal family are the same!

He was so stingy that Lin Ke was left speechless.

As he thought about it, he gradually began to understand the bitterness in Brook's heart, even to the point where a master like Heller possessed a large amount of energy.

If he wanted to achieve the level of being able to use a magic skill with just a wave of his hand and a simple action like what he had imagined, aside from having a powerful cultivation, obtaining enough magic skill books would be as difficult as it was in itself.

The cabin door opened and Xue'er came out.

"Young Master, let's go back to the cabin to rest. The river surface at night is too cold. We've already walked for two days, so you should go back to sleep. When you wake up, we'll be at Liu City."

Lin Ke shook his head and revealed a smile to her, "Maybe it's because I left home, or maybe the ship is still shaking no matter how big it is, I can't sleep well in this cabin, so I might as well stay here and think."

"What are you thinking about?" Xue'er asked.

Lin Ke once again looked at the stars in the sky, not knowing which star belonged to Earth, "I also think that when Liu City meets my grandfather, they will also dream of the future life in the academy, and think of everything."

Xue'er laughed, "What kind of training problem are you thinking about? You're already thinking about college life, and I'm still considering whether I can take the exam. So hateful." After a moment of silence, she continued, "Actually, I've already met your grandfather once, and at that time, he was already quite old, so I still have some impression of him."

"Oh?" Lin Ke became interested. Cohen's memories of his grandfather were a bit hazy, as he was still very young the last time they met. "What kind of person is my grandfather?"

"Mm …" Lord Wood is not as tall as Patriarch Rhine and Master Jason, he looks like a harmless, ordinary man. He is very warm, and does not look down on me because I was picked up by his wife. On the contrary, he treats me very well, and he is the kindest senior I've ever seen who makes me feel warm. "There was a deep respect in Xue'er's voice that made Link feel a little more at ease.

At the very least, he wasn't a difficult old geezer.

"Then do you know anything about the situation of the Qing Feng family?" Or what did Mom ever tell you? " Linke continued.

Xue'er rolled her eyes at him and said, "How would I know about the situation with the Qing Feng family? Although the Madam treats me well, she won't tell me about their family matters. She should at least tell you about them."

Lin Ke smiled in embarrassment. He thought, "Sometimes, my real son's treatment is really not as good as yours."

"Mm …" "I only know that Lord Wood only has two daughters, which is Madam and Madam's sister, Lady Lengqin, and that he doesn't have a son who can inherit the family business, and that the brothers of Lord Wood seem to have three sons, and that the Cool Breeze family hasn't even decided on an heir yet. Perhaps the chaos that Madame spoke of is the word for it," said Snow hesitantly, since discussing the matter of the Selina family was not really appropriate for her status.

Lin Ke didn't seem to care at all. He nodded after thinking for a while.

Grandfather has no children. From what Linke heard, his personality may still have a hundred years of life left, but he probably won't be willing to spend his life with the Liu family. Although his two daughters are both outstanding, whether it is Selina who values the Moutes' family or Lun Qin who wishes to live a simple life, they are both not people who are willing to fight for the position of family head.

"Eh?!" Xue'er's soft cry broke Lin Ke's train of thought. "Someone has fallen into the water by the shore!"

"What?" Someone fell into the water? " Linke frowned and asked, "Are you sure someone fell into the water this late at night?"

Xue'er nodded her head and said hurriedly, "He has fallen into the water. He looks like he can swim, but he is very weak and is swimming towards the ship. However, he is too far away. If we don't save him, he will definitely die from exhaustion and be washed away by the river!"

Lin Ke muttered to himself for a moment, "Save him."

The leader moved his mouth and his subordinates broke their legs. In short, Linke did nothing.

After hurriedly saving him, the young man was only able to say a word of thanks before he fainted. Lin Ke felt a little depressed, and then after thinking for a long while, he realized that this familiar feeling came from watching TV shows in his previous life.

Fortunately, there were some experienced members in the caravan who judged his condition and gave him some mild medicine, plus ginger soup and massage, which finally woke him up.

"Thank you," the young man looked around the cabin in a daze, accurately finding the core person, Lin Ke, from the crowd. He said gratefully, "Thank you very much, otherwise my life would have ended here!"

"It just so happens that it's not worth mentioning," Lin Ke politely asked. "How do you feel? I saw that you suffered some external injuries, was it someone that was trying to kill you? "

The young man gently caressed his injured arm, "It's probably some enemies of the family. They took advantage of the time when I was out killing them, and thanks to you and your subordinates' care, I feel much better now. When I return to the family, I will definitely repay them handsomely!"

Linke smiled and shook his head. "There's no need to be polite. You rest first."

— —

"Young master, his words are clearly reserved. How can the so-called revenge of the enemy make him run to the river with light wounds?" Xue'er walked to Lin Ke's side and quietly reminded him.

"It's a lie," Lily said bluntly.

Sometimes, a lie has many meanings. For a relationship like ours, where some secrets don't get involved, that's a good thing. Too much curiosity will waste the kindness of others, and it will also turn a good thing into a bad thing. Why?

Xue'er thoughtfully nodded her head, while Lilisse slightly pursed her lips.

"It's better not to go to the top of the ship and spend the night in peace," advised Neil, who had rarely spoken since he had followed Link.

"You mean there might be an attack tonight?" Lin Ke's right index finger rubbed against his chin a few times. "Alright, we can't let everyone be on guard in front of the finish line, even if it's just a false alarm, it's better than being unprepared for a sneak attack."

"Throwing him back into the water is the easiest thing to do," Lilisse said coldly.

"It's probably too late to throw it back now," Lin Ke smiled and patted Lilisse's shoulder. "It's fine if he doesn't see it, but since he did, he can't just watch him die right?" Who asked our Xue'er to have such good eyesight! "

Xue'er pouted. She was a bit unhappy, but she didn't refute him.

"Du du!"

The siren sounded!

The few of them looked at each other before quickly rushing towards the deck!

Things had really gotten out of hand!

— —

"Grandpa Seven!" "What's the situation like?" Link asked as he came to Ira, who was standing on the deck with a calm expression on his face.

Eler snorted disdainfully, "Just a few little idiots and a big idiot."

Link was speechless as he looked at the two-petaled corpses not far in front of him. He couldn't even recognize what they looked like anymore.

He felt a little sick.

"Save the next young man?" Heller asked.

Lin Ke nodded his head, "A light wound and he fell into the water. He swam towards the merchant ship to survive. He was casually saved. Once we reach the Liu City, we will let him go."

Heller nodded at the dark river. "Don't get too involved in all this mess. We're just passing by."

Lin Ke obediently nodded his head.

The leader of the guards, Leo, walked over, his right fist striking the left side of his chest armor with a "Dang" sound. "Hello, elder!" Young Master, the assassins attacking the ship have been cleared away, and most of them are low-leveled assassins. The only one with a huge strength has been killed by the Lord Elders, not a single one survived! "

After Lin Ke returned the courtesy, he nodded, "Have the servants in the caravan clean up the deck. Tonight, I will work with everyone to increase our vigilance and tell everyone that it has been hard on you!"

Leo had the typical bearing of a soldier. After bowing with his heels, he turned around and left. Very soon, everything on the merchant ship began to move in an orderly fashion.

"This Leo is a good man," Heller said.

"That's right. He once followed his grandfather to Windy City, and now he's following me as well," Linke said solemnly. "The Mouths clan owes them a lot."

"Uh-huh," Ira said softly, then turned and left.

The four people left behind were Link, Xue'er, Lilisse, and Neil. They stood at the bow quietly, talking and laughing with each other, allowing the people of the caravan, who were frightened by the attack, to gradually calm down.

However, every time the busy people turned to look at the backs of the four, they would unconsciously bring a hint of respect!
